Answer to Question 2

C
Interpreters are not always available for patients and families that speak a foreign language. The staff is responsible for establishing the best level of communication possible. Quitting is not an option. The staff should use patience and understanding when working with language barriers. Palliative and hospice care rely on good communication.
